writes: My feels have taken a nosedive over my grades. I've just sat my A level exams this summer. I didn't quite get the grades I was hoping for nor did I get my predicted grades... I got BDD. I know, I'm stupid right? When I do study it will mean I am older than other students and I was planning to study Law as I hope to aspire to be a successful lawyer one day. I'm not going to lie, I worked extremely hard this year but unfortunately I didn't get my grades. I feel so depressed it's unbelievable :(. Anyway, I obviously didn't get into my firm choice but my insurance place gave me an unconditional offer. I already have other A levels and so they requested me to send them copies of those so my uni place can be officially confirmed. So I did. However, I received an email saying they need my GCSE maths result. I've got D in GCSE maths and I couldn't resit it because my college had full classes. I told the woman about this and she was slightly rude to me. I got an email from ucas track saying my status had changed... That's right, it said they declined my offer. I mean, how could they even do that? I'm so confused. The funny thing about my situation is that I have a friend that goes to this uni who does business and she completely failed her A levels. She's just finished her first year. She doesn't even have a gcse in maths!!!! I mean how stupid is that please? I don't know what to tell my parents. I feel depressed and I'm scared :(

 I know one close friend. She isn't so intelligent but a timid &kind girl. Though She learns but always slower than others. Her Parents know this and plan for her future (just FOCUS on one subject which can turn out as a career). Their decision is MUSIC. She sign up & fortunately she likes it too. With family support& years of hard work, she graduate with Diploma in music & works as a teacher. Her students also hv high results.
Point is when you hv a will, pls work on it till succeed!
Your parents always love you. Don't you? Pls express and share your fear to them,so they can extend their hands and help you out.Don't be afraid to speak out! Things isn't turn as bad as you think

Hi there. I recommend you start by telling your parents the complete truth. They are going to find out one way or another anyway, aren't they?
To try and keep the truth from them, serves no purpose whatsoever.
Do you honestly think you could hide something like that from them anyway? Most likely not.
Once you tell them about your grades, your parents will be able to help you find some alternative paths to take, to help you to reach the same ultimate target.
I'm quite sure that all is not lost.
If you really have your heart set on studying law, well then you will find a way to meet that end.
Perhaps you could find a private college in your town where you could study the subjects you need to get a better grade on, and enrol in that college to do those subjects again. You might even get in this year, you never know.
Then when you have gone through the course of study in those subjects and been examined, and then passed, then you will be where you would like to be now.
Keeping this in mind, it might only be a few more months before you reach the place you want to be now. And that's not too bad, I don't think.
So all is not lost, by any means.
It's simply a case of keeping your eye on the ball - your target (your dream) - and always keeping it in your sights. If you focus only on what you want to do, you will absolutely find a way to make it a reality for you - and soon.
So please, don't ever give up on it. If you want something badly enough in your life, you will move mountains to make it happen. And you won't stop until you do make your dream come true.
Whatever it takes.

Nor should you worry about your parents reaction, you worked hard for your Alevels and they must know this. So sit down and look at your options and sit with them to do it.There are always choices for your next steps be it re-sits,another course at Uni or a job with training,whatever.
Don't get despondant
